nope
it is version 1.1
it is now for all pages : threads, forum main and forums

So, is this one the best option or the other one?

Obviously this one, it even says on previous version "better" one (on a link to this one)

What are bad(if there are any) and what are good sides of this mod, please elaborate a bit
I mean this code looks pretty much simple even for me as a noob here, why vb wouldnt have such a thing by default?

Thanks

The "include pages" variants don't validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

This can be fixed using &amp; instead of &

Thanks

of course this one version 1.1

the latest version of vbulletin was made before rel canonical ever existed ! also it is an optional SEO task that may not be found even in vBulletin 4.


thanks I do not know how I missed this...
Code changed ....

does this mod work for TFseo as well as for vbseo?

yea
and vbseo has it already in the latest version
